WeeRide Kangaroo Child Bike Seat
WeeRide Kangaroo Child Bike Seat – Features
Product Description The WeeRide Kangaroo Center Mounted Child Carrier offers an award-winning design that allows children to enjoy and share in the cycling experience, surrounded by your protective pair of arms. Your child is not behind you uninterested and distanced by the limited view. The child’s position also keeps the center of gravity where it belongs – on the bicycle frame, not behind the rider. This all adds up to a more comfortable ride for the cyclist AND the passenger. The Child Carrier is mounted on an independent adjustable steel support bar that attaches firmly between the frame’s head tube and the seat post. The support bar is designed to mount on almost any bicycle.

WeeRide Kangaroo Child Bike Seat – Reviews

I love the design, and my 11 month old absolutely loves riding around in the seat. its great bonding time and we can share what we see. i feel very steady and safe with the seat on. only complaint: at 5’1″ and with a small women’s bike, the kangaroo seat takes up the entire length of the bar in front of me, forcing me to peddle with my knees at a funny angle. this is fine for leisurely rides through the park, but not suitable for hills or rides of any substantial length. i’m glad i purchased it, but will probably have to invest in either a rear seat or a trailer if i want to go for longer rides.

I wanted so badly to LOVE this product. It’s okay for short runs, it gets the job done. However, it was pretty uncomfortable for me. I’m 5’4″ and my daughter’s helmet hit me square in the chest, she had to lean forward. (she’s only 15mo old and also petite!). Plus, I had to bike with my legs splayed/knees pointing out. Just plain akward..
I have to second the other reviewer who commented negatively on the seat belt system. It’s not a very easy in/out set up and the straps slipped off my petite daughter’s shoulders. The ride must’ve been comfortable for her though, she’d even fall asleep w/ her head on the pad!!
We did get lots of comments on how unique/great idea the seat was. I truly wanted this product to work out, it just didn’t cut it and we broke down and bought a pull behind bike trailer.

Well engineered product. I had some questions before the purchase and the manufacturer was quick to reply via email. I use it on a 26″ beach cruiser and have no problems with my knees hitting the child seat. My daughter and I love it!

I was very disappointed to find that this seat does not fit on either my wife’s or my bicycle. Both are fairly standard off-the-bike-store-rack models. The company’s misleading advertising states it fits virtually any bike. What it should say is that you must have at least 3/4″-1″ of head tube extending above the top tube so that the front mounting clamp will fit without interfering with the headset bearings (steering mechanism.) My trek mountain bike has essentially no such space. My wife’s Giant city/trail bike had a little more space due to the sloping “ladies” top tube, but the clamp still did not fit. Had I known this, I would not have wasted the shipping fees, and gotten a seat that fits.
